As far as I've noticed, there's no legit way of rigging which prize exactly you get. Just gotta keep trying until it gives you the one you want, even if it's a basic herb.

What Jun said.

At one point I thought it depended upon finishing within a certain time, but a lot more experience told me it's far more random than that.

Best way of finding out would probably be hacking the code that selects the prize.

I got it!
the way to obtain 3 of 3 in 3

First, win with a minimal time remain
Second, win with less than 45 sec (more than first but in red)
Third, win with more than 45

and thats all :thumbsup: :) :excited:

Oh wow, if that really works every single time, then that's an awesome find!

Nice job. :)

If that's the case, why do I get any one of the three whenever I finish with over 45 seconds remaining?

sorry, i don't understand that question U_U

the method to obtain the 3 items, is not the way obtain the item you want

in the first time, you can obtain 1 of 3 at random (i see >__>) then another, and third the last...

EDIT = aaaahhh..... because .... its random xD

Speaking honestly, I'm afraid I don't understand half your posts or replies. :p

Let's say I play a few battles at the arena.

- I finish some of them with more than 45 seconds remaining. After each of these battle, it gives me any one of the three winning items, not just the third.

- Same thing with all the battles I finish with less than 45 seconds remaining. After each of these battles, it gives me any one of the three winning items, not just the second.

Also, after you've won one of the three items, there does not seem to be anything to stop you from getting a herb instead of the remaining prizes, so you can't just play a level three times to get all of the items - chances are one of these will end up giving you a herb.

This is speaking from experience with many dozens, if not hundreds, of arena battles.

(Necro, but might as well give new info somewhere.)

It's random.

The address for the RNG is 03001430 (32 bits). Set that to 00000000 and you'll get the first prize every time, no matter how you win.
